I think I've retuned 5 times this year for various reasons - maintaining your text files would be a royal PITA. Basically TM will connect if Altair connects. With TM, retuning becomes the work of a fe ... |

I don't hold with the "necroposting" concept. One big pile is always better than lots of little piles, and this is the thread I found, for ChannelRemover. I still use it - on my TF5800, wh ... |

So I tried your suggestion of using the selfie camera and it worked. I can see that the remote is firing but the Toppy becomes unresponsive soon after starting to use it. It starts fine for the first ... |

Mine's an iPhone: I'll try with the selfie camera.
I've seen the thread on cleaning them, but I didn't want to try taking it apart if it's more likely to be the Toppy. I run with MHEG off, so it's ... |

My Toppy has stopped responding to remote keypresses when it's been left for a couple of hours. There is no light on the front panel when it doesn't respond. I've tried pointing the remote at the came ... |

Same here. The Toppy is the primary box for our viewing, but I use a YouView box for watching stuff in HD. I still use the Toppy to find the stuff I want to watch in HD though. Our original YV box was ... |

I noticed this last night when Film4+1 turned into E4+1. Apparently I shouldn't have been affected on the main Emley Moor mast. I'd already retuned after the 23/10 event |
